St. Bonaventure athletic director Joe Manhertz resigned abruptly, the university announced Saturday, in the midst of questions regarding the men's basketball program opting out from competing in the NIT without initially informing its players and fans.

St. Bonaventure provided no details behind Manhertz's departure after two-plus years on the job, except to say school president Jeff Gingerich accepted his letter of resignation Friday night.

"I want to thank Joe for the contributions he's made to the athletics department the last three years," Gingerich said in a statement.
